Hi.
I picked up a used 350HG a few weeks back from a garage sale. It has not been used for a good couple of years I would guess and I am trying to bring it back to life.
I can't get the thing to draw fuel through but it runs ok if you dribble fuel into the carb.
I changed the fuel feed line after finding it had wasted away in the tank but I can see from the new transparent line that the carb it is not drawing.
I have had the carb apart and cleaned it but no progress. I can get fuel through if I pulse pressure down the metering diaphram balance pipe (ie blowing down a tube) but nothing through normal feed.
Is there a setting procedure for the metering lever? - the one on the HG is a spring balance, not sure about other models.
Would you recommend I change the metering diaphram?
Any help welcome. I am at a loss!
Thanks.
